Still for sale, will accept £25 posted to the UK.

Thanks for the correction Pentaxophile, although I still think the 2CR5s are not ideal (I used the AA battery grip on the SFXn and managed about 15 rolls per battery in my Z-1 - but they were much more expensive then).

I agree about looking beyond the shop, but being able to check the gear out before you buy it is a big advantage.

I still have Mamiya 645 and Bronica 6x6 gear and don't really use them much now. I had considered selling them and getting a 6x7 but realistically wouldn't use it much.

The SF7 is pretty much an AF version of the P3n/P30n. The SF7 needs the expensive 2CR5 batteries and my preference would be for the P3n (less to go wrong) and the SF7 hasn't got a lot going for it (an SFXn is a different story).

Thanks to all for the comments and thanks to Mike-P for the tweaks.

When I prepped it for Flickr I was a little harsh with the JPEG compression (**).

Somebody mentioned Hotpoint and a white goods advert pops up on my browser, coincidence or not?

It's not a claim, it's a statement

You'd have to define 'correct' and the context it is being used in.

Having read 80 odd posts in this topic, I'm a bit surprised an innocent looking question has generated such a lot of interest. My preference would be for a genuine battery simply because aside from the wrong flashgun, it's the most likely cause of a catastrophic electrical failure.

I started out as an electronic engineer and over the years have seen lots of very expensive kit fried (including fires started) by incorrect power supplies (mains, batteries & battery charging circuits) or improper use of the correct ones.

A lot has said about legislation, EU protection etc. but if a non-genuine battery causes damage, suing the supplier may not be as simple as it sounds.

As always it's your money and your choice.
